Description

電致動夾持器Electrically actuated gripper

本發明涉及一種電致動夾持器,尤其涉及一種基於奈米碳管的電致動夾持器。The present invention relates to an electrically actuated holder, and more particularly to an electrically actuated holder based on a carbon nanotube.

致動器的工作原理為將其他能量轉換為機械能,實現這一轉換經常採用的途徑有三種:通過靜電場轉化為靜電力,即靜電驅動;通過電磁場轉化為磁力,即磁驅動;利用材料的熱膨脹或其他熱特性實現能量的轉換,即熱驅動。The working principle of the actuator is to convert other energy into mechanical energy. There are three ways to achieve this conversion: the electrostatic field is converted into electrostatic force, that is, electrostatic drive; the electromagnetic field is converted into magnetic force, that is, magnetic drive; The thermal expansion or other thermal properties enable energy conversion, ie thermal drive.

靜電驅動的致動器一般包括兩個電極及設置在兩個電極之間的電致動元件,其工作過程為在兩個電極上分別注入電荷,利用電荷間的相互吸引和排斥,通過控制電荷數量和電負性來控制電極間電致動元件的相對運動。係由於靜電力反比於電容板之間距離的平方,因此一般只有在電極間距很小時靜電力才比較顯著,該距離的要求使該致動器的結構設計較為複雜。磁驅動的致動器一般包括兩個磁極及設置在兩個磁極之間的電致動元件,其工作過程係通過磁場的相互吸引和排斥作用使兩磁極之間的電致動元件產生相對的運動,然係磁驅動的缺點和靜電驅動相同,即由於磁場作用範圍有限,導致電致動元件的上下兩個表面必須保持較小的距離,該結構的設計要求嚴格且也限制了該致動器的應用範圍。An electrostatically driven actuator generally comprises two electrodes and an electrically actuated element disposed between the two electrodes, the working process of which is to inject a charge on each of the two electrodes, using mutual attraction and repulsion between the charges, by controlling the charge The quantity and electronegativity are used to control the relative motion of the electrically actuated elements between the electrodes. Because the electrostatic force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the capacitive plates, the electrostatic force is generally significant only when the electrode spacing is small. The requirement of the distance makes the structural design of the actuator more complicated. A magnetically actuated actuator generally comprises two magnetic poles and an electrically actuated element disposed between the two magnetic poles, the working process of which is caused by the mutual attraction and repulsion of the magnetic fields to cause the electrical actuating elements between the two magnetic poles to be opposite. The disadvantage of the magnetic drive is the same as that of the electrostatic drive, that is, due to the limited range of the magnetic field, the upper and lower surfaces of the electric actuating element must be kept at a small distance. The design requirements of the structure are strict and the actuation is also limited. The scope of application.

而利用熱驅動的致動器克服了上述靜電驅動和磁驅動致動器的缺點,該致動器結構只要能夠保證獲得一定的熱能就能產生相應的形變,另外,相對於靜電力和磁場力,熱驅動力較大。先前技術公開一種電熱式致動器,請參閱“基於熱膨脹效應的微電熱式致動器進展”,匡一寧等,電子器件,vol 22,p162 (1999)。該電熱式致動器採用兩片熱膨脹係數不同的金屬結合成雙層結構作為電致動元件,當通入電流受熱時,由於一片金屬的熱膨脹量大於另一片,雙金屬片將向熱膨脹量小的一方彎曲。然而,由於上述電致動材料採用金屬結構,形變量小,而且雙層金屬材料之間的形變量差異也較小,其柔性較差,導致整個電熱式致動器熱響應速度較慢。另外,兩片金屬片還為了緊密結合而需要將兩者相互固定的手段。The use of a thermally driven actuator overcomes the shortcomings of the above described electrostatically driven and magnetically driven actuators which are capable of producing a corresponding deformation as long as a certain amount of thermal energy is obtained, and in addition to the electrostatic and magnetic forces The heat drive is large. The prior art discloses an electrothermal actuator, see "Progress in Micro-Electrothermal Actuators Based on Thermal Expansion Effect", Yan Yining et al., Electronic Devices, vol 22, p162 (1999). The electrothermal actuator adopts two pieces of metal with different thermal expansion coefficients to form a two-layer structure as an electric actuating element. When the electric current is heated, since the amount of thermal expansion of one piece of metal is larger than the other piece, the bimetal piece will have a small amount of thermal expansion. One side is bent. However, since the above-mentioned electrically actuated material adopts a metal structure, the shape variable is small, and the difference in the shape and the variation between the double-layered metal materials is small, and the flexibility is poor, resulting in a slow thermal response of the entire electrothermal actuator. In addition, the two metal sheets also need to be fixed to each other for tight bonding.

使用上述致動器作為夾持臂的先前夾持裝置,不僅存在上述致動器本身的問題,而且還存在結構設計複雜,使用不方便的問題。The use of the above-described actuator as the previous holding device of the gripping arm not only has the problems of the above-described actuator itself, but also has a problem that the structural design is complicated and the use is inconvenient.

有鑒於此,提供一種結構簡單、響應速度快,並具有柔性的電致動夾持器實為必要。In view of this, it is necessary to provide an electrically actuated holder that is simple in structure, fast in response, and flexible.

一種電致動夾持器,包括一支撐部,以及至少兩個間隔設置的電致動夾持臂,所述至少兩個電致動夾持臂通過所述支撐部固定。其中,每一個電致動夾持臂包括一片狀柔性高分子基體以及一奈米碳管膜結構。所述奈米碳管膜結構至少部分包埋於所述柔性高分子基體一表面,所述奈米碳管膜結構為複數個奈米碳管通過凡得瓦力結合而成,所述至少兩個電致動夾持臂具有奈米碳管膜結構的表面間隔相對設置。An electrically actuated gripper includes a support portion and at least two spaced apart electrically actuated gripping arms that are secured by the support portion. Wherein each of the electrically actuated clamping arms comprises a piece of flexible polymer matrix and a carbon nanotube film structure. The carbon nanotube film structure is at least partially embedded on a surface of the flexible polymer substrate, wherein the carbon nanotube film structure is formed by combining a plurality of carbon nanotubes by van der Waals force, the at least two The electrically actuated gripping arms have a surface spacing relative arrangement of the carbon nanotube membrane structure.

與先前技術相比較,本發明提供的電致動夾持器,其電致動夾持臂為柔性高分子基體和奈米碳管膜結構構成的複合材料,為一個整體的結構,從而使得該電致動夾持器具有結構簡單的優點,並且還具有較好的柔性。另外,該奈米碳管膜結構包括複數個奈米碳管,該複數個奈米碳管由凡得瓦力結合形成一個整體,該複數個奈米碳管相互連接並形成導電網絡,使得該電致動夾持臂具有較好的導電性,可以快速加熱該電致動夾持臂,使得該電致動夾持臂也相應具有較高的導電和導熱性,且熱響應速率較快。Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an electrically actuated gripper whose electrically actuated gripping arm is a composite material composed of a flexible polymer matrix and a carbon nanotube membrane structure, and is an integral structure, thereby The electrically actuated gripper has the advantage of being structurally simple and also has better flexibility. In addition, the carbon nanotube membrane structure comprises a plurality of carbon nanotubes, the plurality of carbon nanotubes are combined by van der Waals force to form a whole, the plurality of carbon nanotubes are connected to each other and form a conductive network, so that The electrically actuated clamping arm has better electrical conductivity and can rapidly heat the electrically actuated clamping arm such that the electrically actuated clamping arm also has a higher electrical and thermal conductivity and a faster thermal response rate.

本發明涉及一種電致動夾持器,其包括一個支撐部,以及至少兩個電致動夾持臂。所述至少兩個電致動夾持臂間隔相對設置,所述電致動夾持臂的一端固定於所述支撐部。該電致動夾持器可以通過電源驅動使所述至少兩個相對的電致動夾持臂發生熱膨脹形變從而可以相向彎曲,從而實現夾持物品的功能。The invention relates to an electrically actuated gripper comprising a support portion and at least two electrically actuated gripping arms. The at least two electrically actuated clamping arms are spaced apart from each other, and one end of the electrically actuated clamping arm is fixed to the support portion. The electrically actuated gripper can be thermally expanded by the power source to deform the at least two opposing electrically actuated gripping arms so as to be able to bend toward each other, thereby achieving the function of gripping the article.

本發明的電致動夾持器的電致動夾持臂為片狀體或板狀體,根據實際需求可以做成長條型。該電致動夾持臂由柔性高分子基體以及複合在柔性高分子基體表面的奈米碳管膜結構組成,由於奈米碳管膜結構具有很多的間隙,奈米碳管膜結構可以在所述柔性高分子基體為液態時設置於柔性高分子基體表面,這樣液態的柔性高分子材料滲透進入奈米碳管膜結構中,從而使得奈米碳管膜結構與柔性高分子基體複合在一起,但奈米碳管膜結構仍然設置在柔性高分子基體的表面。所述的柔性高分子基體係係指該柔性高分子基體比較容易彎曲,相對於先前技術中的雙金屬片結構,柔性高分子基體會具有更好的彎曲性能和形變量。所述奈米碳管膜結構包括大量的相互搭接的奈米碳管,從而可以形成導電通路。當給該電致動夾持臂通電時,奈米碳管膜結構快速產生熱量並將熱量傳導給高分子基體,由於夾持臂具有奈米碳管膜結構的一側的熱膨脹係數小於沒有奈米碳管的一側的熱膨脹係數,因此該電致動夾持臂向熱膨脹係數小的一面(即具有奈米碳管膜結構的一側)彎曲。當兩個電致動夾持臂具有奈米碳管膜結構的面相對時,該兩個電致動夾持臂將會相向彎曲運動,從而實現夾持物品的功能。該電致動夾持臂具有非常好的柔性,所述柔性係係指其一端被固定時另一端保持一定的彈性。並且由於該電致動夾持臂為高分子和奈米碳管等材料構成,因此具有較輕的質量。The electrically actuated clamping arm of the electrically actuated gripper of the present invention is a sheet-like body or a plate-like body, and can be made into a long strip shape according to actual needs. The electrically actuated clamping arm is composed of a flexible polymer matrix and a carbon nanotube membrane structure laminated on the surface of the flexible polymer matrix. Since the carbon nanotube membrane structure has many gaps, the carbon nanotube membrane structure can be When the flexible polymer matrix is in a liquid state, it is disposed on the surface of the flexible polymer substrate, so that the liquid flexible polymer material penetrates into the carbon nanotube film structure, so that the carbon nanotube film structure is compounded with the flexible polymer matrix. However, the carbon nanotube membrane structure is still disposed on the surface of the flexible polymer matrix. The flexible polymer matrix system means that the flexible polymer matrix is relatively easy to bend, and the flexible polymer matrix has better bending properties and deformation variables than the prior art bimetal structure. The carbon nanotube membrane structure includes a plurality of mutually overlapping carbon nanotubes so that a conductive path can be formed. When the electrically actuated clamping arm is energized, the carbon nanotube membrane structure rapidly generates heat and conducts heat to the polymer matrix, since the thermal expansion coefficient of the side of the clamping arm having the carbon nanotube membrane structure is less than that of the carbon nanotube membrane structure. The coefficient of thermal expansion of one side of the carbon nanotube, so that the electrically actuated gripping arm is bent toward the side having a small coefficient of thermal expansion (i.e., the side having the structure of the carbon nanotube film). When the two electrically actuated gripping arms have opposite faces of the carbon nanotube membrane structure, the two electrically actuated gripping arms will move in opposite directions to effect the function of gripping the article. The electrically actuated gripping arm has very good flexibility, and the flexible system means that the other end maintains a certain elasticity when one end is fixed. Moreover, since the electrically actuated clamping arm is made of a material such as a polymer and a carbon nanotube, it has a lighter mass.

Current can be transmitted through the conductive network formed by the carbon nanotubes 122 in the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12 that are bonded to each other by van der Waals forces. Since the thermal conductivity of the carbon nanotubes 122 is high, when the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12 is energized, the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12 is rapidly heated, so that the temperature of the electrically actuated clamping arm 10 rises rapidly. High, heat rapidly diffuses from the periphery of the carbon nanotube 122 in the electrically actuated gripping arm 10 to the entire electrically actuated gripping arm 10, i.e., the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12 rapidly heats the flexible polymeric matrix 14 . Since the amount of thermal expansion is proportional to the volume of the material and the coefficient of thermal expansion, and the electrically actuated clamping arm 10 of the present embodiment consists of two layers of carbon nanotube membrane structure 12 having different coefficients of thermal expansion and no carbon nanotubes. One side of the membrane structure 12 is composited, and the coefficient of thermal expansion of one side of the carbon nanotube membrane structure 12 is much smaller than the coefficient of thermal expansion of the flexible polymer matrix 14, so that the heated electrically actuated clamping arm 10 will The surface having the carbon nanotube film structure 12 having a small coefficient of thermal expansion is bent.
